I had a bad argument with my wife one week back.
It was a bad argument after quite some time.
Generally whenever we argue, she shouts more and I am on the receiving end.
I try to give her opportunity to vent out.
I just defend.
It was not the same last week.
She came from office when I was doing work from home.
As usual suddenly she burst into anger and started accusing me for things which is beyond my control.
I did not argue but did not keep quite, like I do most of the time.
I took a breathe and simply told her — “What she is telling is not true”.
I told her to introspect and find whether she is right about what she is talking about.
I did not react. I just responded and kept on working as I have few meetings to deal with.
She did not get such replies from me often. So, she left the room fuming.
In last 7 days she seldom talked with me. But that is ok.
In life sometimes you need to stand for your own truth.
In life sometimes you need to speak against the most nearest and dearest if they cross their boundary.
Remember to stand for your own dignity when it is required.
P.S. — My personal life and marriage is a roller coaster with her OCD, depression, cheating. I talked about it in my first story here.
